Hindsight is not foresight. After an accident, we know all of the critical information and knowledge needed to understand what happened.
But that knowledge is not available to the participants before the fact. In
looking back we tend to oversimplify the situation the actual practitioners faced, and this tends to block our ability to see the deeper story behind the label human error.
